The latest phase of the Global Warming scam has been to rename it to Climate Change and to blame it for every natural disaster in the world. If you had to leave your house due to Hurricane Sandy, you are now officially a “Climate Change Refugee”. But despite a valiant effort by a CNN anchorwoman, blaming meteors and asteroids on Global Warming is a tough sell even for the Al Gore gang.

After the widely publicized meteorite over Russia and the accompanying calls by Russia and other countries for a skywatch program that would intercept and destroy incoming objects, the Global Warming scammers have redoubled their efforts by screeching that Global Warming AKA Planet Heat Death 2012 AKA Climate Change is still much more dangerous than a huge rock colliding with the planet.

The House Science, Space and Technology Committee is holding hearings on the asteroid threat and that kind of thing freaks out the ecoscammers because the whole point of the Global Warming scam is to protect the funding that keeps the scam going.

The House Science, Space and Technology Committee will hold a hearing on how to “better identify and address asteroids that pose a potential threat to Earth,” Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) said in a statement on Friday.

“Today’s events are a stark reminder of the need to invest in space science,” Smith said. “Asteroid 2012 DA14 passed just 17,000 miles from Earth, less than the distance of a round trip from New York to Sydney. And this morning, a much smaller meteorite hit near the Russian city of Chelyabinsk, damaging buildings and injuring hundreds.”

“Developing technology and research that enable us to track objects like Asteroid 2012 DA14 is critical to our future,” Smith said. “We should continue to invest in systems that identify threatening asteroids and develop contingencies, if needed, to change the course of an asteroid headed toward Earth.”

When the threat priority changes, as it did during the War on Terror, the ecocammers begin rushing out articles claiming that

A. Global Warming is a bigger threat than Islamic Terrorism

B. Terrorism is caused by Global Warming

The Global Warming > Asteroids argument is being made by claiming not that asteroid impacts are caused by Global Warming (though the science has already been perverted so badly that they might as well go there. Your average CNN anchorwoman or liberal politician does not know any better) but that asteroid impacts cause “Climate Change” therefore what’s really dangerous is people exhaling and cows ruminating.

Forget big rocks colliding with the ocean, cow farts are still the number one threat to the planet and can only be met by giving Al Gore a lot of money.
